Well, this is news about Common Lisp is just dandy. I spend a year putting a machine and environment together, putting classes and assignments together, and NeXT decides not to support the one environment which has kept me and my program viable. I have been sitting by, using a machine with poor software support, poor performance, and nearly imperceptable support from the company for nearly a year. If Common Lisp loses support I have no reason to stay with a NeXT whatsoever. Of course, my courses account for 90% of the use on the 10 cubes here on campus, so those machines might as well go into the dumpster. Sales clout? Maybe we should hit them in the groin where it really hurts. You hurt us, we bury you. Play it any way you want, but killing CL is like swallowing cyanide. Jack Hodges San Francisco State University
